Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Rest 60–90 seconds between sets to maintain quality without full recovery.
  2. 2. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

Perform the unilateral version first to identify and address side-to-side imbalances.

Progression:

Add a loaded stretch position: deficit, extended ROM, or cable-based variation for more time at end range.

Common Problems:

No peak contraction — enforce a 1-second squeeze at the end range before the return.
